  1. 100% Disk usage after fresh install of windows 10 and a clean hard drive


    I've been using my pc for the last few years letting it sit for hours until the disk consumption went down. I tried to change some settings to see if I could lower this consumption and I succeeded but my computer continued to run slow.Yesterday I did a fresh install of windows to see if I could fix my pc but I still see 100% disk usage.I have done all possible tests and the computer seems to be in good condition so I don't think it is something hardware related.I am using a DELL Inspiron 15 7000 Gaming i5-7300HQ 2.5Hz 64Bit 8GB RAM Windows 10Thanks in advance.

    :)

  2. QUESTION: Windows 10 100% Disk usage after fresh install of windows 10 and a clean hard drive

    Question:

    Is it normal for my disk usage to be at 100% for 1-2 minutes from doing tasks such as using 3-4 tabs on Firefox and using the Windows app ''Groove Music''

    Back Story:

    So I started consistently getting 100% Disk usage after 2 years of the PC running smoothly. I tried everything out there to try fix it, even though it did not effect performance. After not being able to resolve the issue I ''Reset'' my PC. This cleared my
    hard drive and everything on it and created a fresh install of Windows. The performance is a little better as expected with a fresh start. I have ruled out the possibility of it being Data/Apps causing the 100% disk usage (as i cleaned the drive) and ruled
    out the possibility of it being Windows causing the problem (as i reinstalled windows)

    After Fresh Windows 10 Install:

    I notice the 100% disk usage now after resetting my PC is only hitting 100% for 1-2 minutes at most and remaining at 0%-10% when idle.

    I haven't noticed any difference in performance even before resetting my PC but what i see in task manager is that the following applications are using the disk usage

    Antimalware Service Executable

    Service host: Sysmain

    Internet Browser: Firefox

    Windows App: Groove Music

    Question:

    Is it normal for my disk usage to be at 100% for 1-2 minutes from doing tasks such as using 3-4 tabs on Firefox (3 tabs browsing, 1 tab streaming) and using the Windows app ''Groove Music'' ?

    I am using a DELL Alienware Aurora R7 64Bit 16GB RAM Windows 10

    Thanks in advance.

  3. 100% disk usage on Windows 10

    I have been having 100% disk usage off and on for several months. I have tried all steps from every suggestion I can find and nothing resolves the issue. I finally reset to a fresh install of Windows (wiping out all of my files and programs). Here I am
    with nothing on this computer, two programs open (Task Manager and Chrome), bouncing between 22-100% disk usage. Please help! I'm at my wits end! I have a Intel Core i7-7500 CPU @ 2.75 GHz, 2tb hard drive and 16 GB RAM
